1. A dialogue between Shafiq and Rafiq about merits and demerits of mobile phone is given below
Shafiq: You seem very glad today. What’s the reason?
Rafiq: Actually, my father bought me a new mobile phone yesterday. Here it is.
Shafiq: Nice, very nice. What do you think about mobile phone?
Rafiq: Mobile phone is a very essential device. It has made our communication easy. It adds speed in our life. We can take photo; video and we can enjoy music from a mobile.
Shafiq: Recently introduced android and windows phone work like computers.
Rafiq: Yes. By using it, we can send e-mail and make video call. It has made our life easy and comfortable.
Shafiq: Right. It has reduced uncertainly doubt, anxious waiting and painful suspense. In fact, it has made our life easy and comfortable.
Rafiq: I can’t do without it for a single day
Shafiq: Yes, you’re right. But there’re some demerits of mobile.
Rafiq: What are you talking about?
Shafiq: Now a day mobile has become an easy way of teasing girl. Some people commit crime using mobile.
Rafiq: Not these are only. Much use of mobile is harmful for health. It harms our hearing power, causes brain tumor, genetic damage and many other incurable diseases.
Shafiq: During conversation, the blood brain barrier may get damaged, the blood pressure may get high and the red blood cells may get affected.
Rafiq: Even some students cannot concentrate in study because they talk over mobile the whole night.
Shafiq: Besides, it causes a lot of harm to the teenagers. They can easily contact with their so-called lovers in season and out of season.
Rafiq: This point is also correct. Because the operators provide facilities at night.
Shafiq: But it is not the fault of mobile. It is our fault.
Rafiq: Of course. Though we are getting immense benefits from it, we should use it with care and caution to avoid its demerits.
Shafiq: I’ve to go now. It’s time for my private tutor.
Rafiq: Ok. See you later. Bye.
Shafiq: Bye.

A dialogue between two friends named Amin and Shakib on how to improve English is given below.
Amin: Hi Shakib! Why do you look so sad?
Shakib: I’m feeling worried about English. It seems very hard to learn.
Amin: I understand. I had the same problem before.
Shakib: Really? How did you overcome it?
Amin: Our English teacher gave me some very useful advice.
Shakib: Please share it with me. I want to learn English well.
Amin: You know, English has four main skills—listening, speaking, reading, and writing.
Shakib: How can I improve in all of these areas?
Amin: First, you should read English storybooks and newspapers every day.
Shakib: That sounds good. What else can I do?
Amin: You can also watch English cartoons, movies, or news on television.
Shakib: Okay, and what about writing practice?
Amin: Try to write your thoughts or a short diary in English daily.
Shakib: I often feel shy when I speak English with others.
Amin: Don’t be shy. Speak English with your friends as much as possible.
Shakib: I’ll try. But how can I learn more new words?
Amin: Learn at least five new words every day and use them in sentences.
Shakib: Should I study grammar too?
Amin: Of course. Grammar helps you use English correctly and confidently.
Shakib: That makes sense. But my pronunciation isn’t very good.
Amin: You can improve it by watching BBC or English news channels.
Shakib: And how can I write better in English?
Amin: Write about different topics and always try to use new words.
Shakib: I think that will really help.
Amin: Yes, and remember—practice makes a person perfect.
Shakib: You’re right. I’ll practice English every day from now on.
Amin: That’s great! Never give up, and you’ll surely improve soon.
Shakib: Thank you so much for your kind advice, Amin.
Amin: You’re always welcome, my friend. Keep learning and practicing!
Shakib: I will. Goodbye, Amin!
3. A dialogue between two friends about an exciting cricket match
Rana: Hello Rani! How are you?
Rani: I’m fine and what about you?
Rana: I’m also quite fine. Did you enjoy the cricket match yesterday between Bangladesh and India?
Rani: Certainly. It’s the first time that Bangladesh defeated India in a befitting manner. I’m lucky that I enjoyed the match live.
Rana: What’s your impression about the match?
Rani: I was deeply impressed by the performance of Bangladeshi players particularly Sakib Al Hasan and Tamim Iqbal.
Rana: Actually, it was a great surprize that we successfully beat the Ex-World Champion.
Rani: India is undoubtedly better in the three sides- bowling, batting and fielding than ours. And it’s interesting that we could dominate them in the three sides.
Rana: It’s true that the performance showed by the Bangladeshi players was awesome in a word. They played like a top-class team.
Rani: In fact, India failed to get high score and it was a very easy target for our team.
Rana: But our team is so unpredictable that we couldn’t be surprized if they couldn’t have achieved that.
Rani: It’s a great achievement for our country. Let’s hope they keep playing like this in future too.
Rana: I think Bangladesh will shine in next matches and will bring name and fame for the country.
Rani: Of course. Our hope is not unreasonable.
Rana: Yes, indeed. Thank you very much and let’s wait for the next match.
Rani: You’re most welcome.
Rana: Now I’m going to my house. Goodbye.
Rani: Goodbye. Thank you.
4. A dialogue about the problem of load-shedding
Sumi: Why do you look drowsy?
Rumi: I couldn’t sleep well last night.
Sumi: In fact, we’re facing the same problem—that’s load shedding. There was no electricity in our locality last night.
Rumi: The insufficient production of electricity, misuse and illegal connection of electricity are the main reasons of it. Sumi: Yes, we’ve no option but to live with pitch-black darkness and sweltering heat.
Rumi: Exactly! But can you imagine what type of problem it creates to a student whose exam is knocking at the door and the patients who are under the knife of a surgeon?
Sumi: The terrible sufferings caused to the examinees and patients cannot be described in words at this moment.
Rumi: Last night I couldn’t read at all. You know tomorrow is my English exam.
Sumi: Besides, the foods we preserve in refrigerators turn rotten and become unfit for consumption. Housewives are suffering much.
Rumi: But the more deplorable damage occurs in refrigerators in laboratories and cold storage. It causes a heavy economic loss.
Sumi: The running productive machines come to a standstill in mills and factories. A tremendous loss of production!
Rumi: Problems are everywhere. What is the solution?
Sumi: The government should take necessary measures on emergency basis to ensure adequate production of electricity to remove the curse of load shedding.
Rumi: I think that more power plants should be set up and system loss should be reduced.
Sumi: Not only that, illegal connections should be banned. I think that consciousness can play a vital role in this regard.
Rumi: The wastage of electricity should be stopped and strict laws should be introduced.
Sumi: Electricity being the driving force of a country, it should be ensured at any cost.
Rumi: Lack of electricity means lack of production and hampering the study of the students is very harmful for a country.
Sumi: Thanks for sharing your valuable ideas.
Rumi: You’re most welcome. See you again.
5. A dialogue about the bad effect of smoking
A dialogue between two friends named Rana and Rumi about the bad effect of smoking is given below.
Rana: Hi, Rumi! You haven’t been to school for a few days.
Rumi: Yes, I was busy. Wait, let me buy a cigarette first.
Rana: What! A cigarette? I heard you’ve become a chain smoker.
Rumi: Not really. I just smoke now and then.
Rana: But why? Don’t you know smoking is harmful to health?
Rumi: Oh, it makes you look smart and removes tiredness.
Rana: That’s a false idea. Smoking is like taking poison.
Rumi: Come on! Many people smoke everywhere.
Rana: People actually hate smokers. It’s also the first step to drug addiction.
Rumi: I never thought about it that way.
Rana: Smoking can cause cancer, heart attack, bronchitis, and lung damage.
Rumi: I tried to quit, but I can’t study without smoking.
Rana: If you realized the dangers, you wouldn’t smoke again.
Rumi: But nobody dies just from smoking, do they?
Rana: Wrong! WHO says 5 million people die every year from tobacco.
Rumi: Really? I only started out of curiosity.
Rana: That curiosity is destroying your health and character.
Rumi: You’re right. I promise to quit smoking today.
Rana: Good. Try to help others avoid it too.
Rumi: Thank you, friend. You’ve opened my eyes.
Rana: You’re welcome. I must go now.
Rumi: Okay, bye. See you later.
7. A dialogue about environment pollution
A: Where are you going?
B: I’m going to the mayor for requesting him to take necessary steps against environment pollution.
A: What do you mean?
B: Any unexpected and abnormal change in chemical, physical and biological characteristics in environment is called the environmental pollution.
A: The disposal of various kinds of waste is seriously polluting the environment. Motor vehicles, mills and factories, railway engines and powerhouses are creating fume and smoke which pollute the air.
B: Besides man makes fires to cook food, to make bricks, to melt tar for road construction and to do many other things.
A: Forests and trees are being cut down on a large scale. So, the ecosystem of the environment is now in great danger.
B: Mills and factories also throw their poisonous chemicals and waste products into rivers, canals and seas.
A: Chemicals, fertilizers and insecticides get mixed with water in rivers, canals and ponds, and thus pollute water.
B: Moreover, water vehicles, unsafe drains and unsanitary latrines are also responsible for water pollution.
A: The noise of motor vehicles, mills and factories, aeroplanes, domestic appliances, radios, cassette players, CDs, televisions etc. cause aggression and damage hearing.
B: Every year millions of people all over the world die unnecessarily as a result of pollution. Air pollution causes pneumonia, bronchitis and other respiratory diseases.

A: Midway through the next century, temperatures may have risen by as much as 4°C.B: It’ll reduce mankind’s ability to grow food, destroy or severely damage wildlife, raise sea levels and thereby flood coastal areas and farmland.
A: The lower southern part of the country may one day go under water.
B: Problems are everywhere. What’s the solution?
A: If we all use energy, transport and other goods and services more carefully, we can reduce harmful emissions to our air, land and water.
B: Government and people of all classes should come forward to raise consciousness and to control this environmental pollution.
A: Thanks for sharing your valuable ideas.
B: You’re most welcome. See you again.
8. A dialogue about importance of punctuality
Nora: I’m very glad that you are in time and have kept your promise.
Neela: As I’m punctual, I always try to maintain time.
Nora: Punctuality is a great virtue and it helps to breed all other virtues.
Neela: In fact, punctuality’s the quality of doing things at the right time. Its importance’s very great.
Nora: A punctual boy prepares his lessons timely and he never lags behind the class.
Neela: When the exam comes, he finds himself well prepared.
Nora: On the contrary, an unpunctual boy attends his school late and misses a part of his lesson.
Neela: Besides he doesn’t learn his lessons at the right time.
Nora: When the exam comes, he finds a huge load of arrear lessons.
Neela: He can’t prepare himself and fails or he adopts copying which is very bad.
Nora: Right you are.
Neel: So, he can make little progress in his studies and in the long run he has to repent of his bad habit.
Nora: Exactly, we’ve to realise that punctuality is important in every sphere of life.
Neela: If a man who is to address a public meeting comes late, he keeps so many people waiting and wastes their time.
Nora: In fact, no excuse’s good enough for this want of good sense.
Neela: Moreover, unpunctual attendance in an office or a workshop causes disorder and sometimes dislocation of work.
Nora: This may give rise to a lot of harm and cause even disaster.
Neela: Correct, lack of punctuality hampers orderly progress. You know, Napoleon lost the Battle of Waterloo, because one of his generals failed to come to his help in time.
Nora: So, we should maintain punctuality at every step.
Neela: We should make it clear to our friends about its importance.
Nora: I thank you very much, Neela.
Neela: You’re welcome. See you.

12. Dialogue Between Two Friends on Food Adulteration
Raha: Hello Zarif! How are you?
Nitu: I’m fine. What about you?
Raha: I’m fine too. Have you seen the recent raid of mobile courts on food production houses?
Nitu: Yes, I think the mobile court is doing the right task to stop food adulteration.
Raha: Exactly! The adulteration of food is increasing beyond any limit. They are using chemicals to preserve food.
Nitu: Yes, and these chemicals are mainly used for industrial purposes. These chemicals can cause kidney damage, heart failure and various other diseases.
Raha: Yes, and it seems to me that the unscrupulous traders of our country don’t care even to kill innocent people to earn extra profit.
Nitu: You’re right. However, this is not the only case of food adulteration of adult people. They are also mixing chemicals with baby foods.
Raha: Oh, my God! I see the situation is very terrible! They have become so heartless that they don’t even care about babies.
Nitu: Yes, nowadays fishes are adulterated with formalin, fruits are adulterated with carbide and edible oils are adulterated with cyanide.
Raha: But why these traders are adopting such malpractices in spite of knowing the worst consequences of massive food adulteration?
Nitu: It’s very simple. They are dishonest and they can do everything for money.
Raha: They are very nasty and they have no moral character. They are enemies to humanity. However, this crime must be stopped at any cost.
Nitu: And we’re helpless at the point of their clutch.
Raha: You’re mostly right. Our government is taking steps time to time but they are producing no result. Isn’t there any light of hope?
Nitu: Yes, there is. It is we who should be careful to choosing right foods as far as possible. The criminals have to be punished by law.
Raha: Your valuable words may make me wise.
Nitu: Absolutely! You’re most welcome. See you again.

Raha: Firstly, you should study regularly. You must not cram anything without understanding. Then you should make your own notes and revise them frequently.
Nusa: Nice! What is your suggestion for English and Mathematics?
Raha: For English and Mathematics your proficiency will depend on constant practice. Every day you will have to take practice-test in writing. Nusa: Excellent! Is there anything more?
Raha: Yes, you should develop a habit of writing. Whatever you read, you must write it. It will give you manifolds benefits.
Nusa: Okay. Do you have any advice for examination?
Raha: Yes, you should budget your time for exams, makes your handwriting legible, and writes all answers. Avoid unnecessary topics in the answer scripts. Nusa: Thank you for your precious suggestions. I will surely follow these strategies.

Anis: Global warming is melting the ice in the seas, and that raises sea levels.
Rakib: Rising sea levels are dangerous because they can flood coastal areas, like parts of Bangladesh.
Anis: So what should we do now?
Rakib: We must plant more trees to protect our planet and make it safe to live.
Anis: I agree. I will use empty land to plant trees from now on.
Rakib: I think people should plant two trees for every tree they cut down.
Anis: People should learn about tree planting through media and talks.
Rakib: Yes, we students can help spread the message.

Sumon: You have said right. I think that these students have never thought this subject to be their friend. The unpleasant truth is that they consider this subject as their enemy. What do you think?
Rakib: Right you are? I think that they even do not know that this language can be learnt and spoken. They only know how to memorize.

Rakib: By suggesting them to memorize, a lot many teachers and lecturers are misleading misguiding them. Do you know any solution to this?
Sumon: I think that they should read their text after learning English. If you ask me any question in Chinese language, I will not understand because I do not know this language.
Rakib: I think that they should speak English, read English newspaper and listen to English news.
Sumon: I think that if speaking English is compulsory, they will be able to learn this language. Otherwise, they will be failing in this subject ironically.
Rakib: Thanks for sharing your valuable thinking.
Sumon: Thank you too.
33. A dialogue about importance of time

Neela: In fact, punctuality’s the quality of doing things at the right time. Its importance’s very great.

Neela: When the exam comes, he finds himself well prepared.
Nora: On the contrary, an unpunctual boy attends his school late and misses a part of his lesson.
Neela: Besides he does not learn his lessons at the right time.
Nora: When the exam comes, he finds a huge load of arrear lessons.
Neela: He can’t prepare himself and fails or he adopts copying which is very bad.
Nora: Right you are.
Neela: So he can make little progress in his studies and in the long run he has to repent of his bad habit.
Nora: Exactly, we’ve to realise that punctuality is important in every sphere of life.
Neela: If a man who is to address a public meeting comes late, he keeps so many people waiting and wastes their time.
Nora: In fact, no excuse’s good enough for this want of good sense.
Neela: Moreover, unpunctual attendance in an office or a workshop causes disorder and sometimes dislocation of work.
Nora: This may give rise to a lot of harm and cause even disaster.

Mina: It’s true. But, environment of village will keep you fit.
Rina: Can you deny the advantages of modernism?
Mina: I don’t mean that. I just want to say that village life is much better than city life.
Rina: What are your other points?
Mina: People of city are much busy and almost emotionless. Day by day they are becoming much disintegrated.
Rina: City people possess all educational institution and administration.
Rina: Yes, but how can we improve the village?
Mina: Educated men should go and mix with the people of the village, and spread education among them and teach them how to raise their standard of life. Besides, Government should ensure all the amenities of the town.
Rina: Now I understand why you go to your native village during every long vacation.
Mina: Actually, both of them have some advantages and disadvantages.
Rina: Exactly, but village life is better to live a healthy life.
Mina: Thank you very much for your nice company.

Kona: You need to understand the basic terms first. Then it will be easier.
Raha: That makes sense. I’ll revise the basics carefully.
Kona: Good idea. I’m revising all my subjects again and again.
Raha: That’s great! How do you prepare for objective questions?
Kona: I read the textbook closely and underline key words and definitions.
Raha: Excellent method! That will also help with college admission later.
Kona: Right. You should try the same strategy.
Raha: Thanks, I’ll follow your advice. Hard work is the only way to succeed.
Kona: Absolutely. Without effort, we can’t achieve our goals.
Raha: Yes, without an A+ it’s tough to get a good chance in today’s world.
Kona: You’re right. Okay, friend, let’s go now. See you again.
Raha: Bye, Kona!
Kona: Bye!
36. A dialogue between my friend Rana and me about the bad-effect of copying in the examination is given below.
Myself: Hello Rana, you seem to be anxious, why?
Rana: Oh Dana, I’m sorry; I can’t tell you the problem.
Myself: But you must tell it to anybody if you want to be free from tension. And I’m your close friend.
Rana: Yesterday in the exam hall, I tried to write from a copy but failed. My conscience didn’t permit me.
Myself: O is it? Surely you did the right thing. You know copying in the examination is a great offence.
Rana: But I also think if I succeed, I could get the upper grade in that subject.
Myself: There are many bad effects, friend. First of all, it is an immoral act, secondly, your knowledge and skill will not be developed if you adopt this unfair means.
Rana: Then what will happen?
Myself: Listen Rana- passing in the exam or scoring higher by copying is not a credit or matter of pride at all. It means cheating oneself.
Rana: This is nothing but a self-killing act. How?
Myself: If you pass or secure a good grade by copying in the exam, it is not the proof of your own ability. You must get stuck in every step of your later life even in getting a job.
Rana: But if I’m not caught, what’s wrong? What else?
Myself: If you’re caught-up or other people can know about your misdeed later, they must hate you and you’re sure to lose their love, respect and trustiness.
Rana: Is it all?
Myself: No, you cannot pass any job interview. If you luckily get any job, your academic qualifications and abilities will be questioned. You may feel insulted and quit your job. In fact, you will have to suffer a lot if you copy in the exam.
Rana: Really, I did the right thing. My conscience saved me. You’ve helped me remove my tension. Thanks a lot.
Myself: So, discard this evil intention from your mind. Read well, I’m sure you will do good.
Rana: Pray for me. Thanks very much for your advice.
Myself: Have a nice time.

40. Here is a dialogue between you and your friend about the importance of online class
Myself: Hey, it’s nice to see you in person after such a long time even though we stay so close to each other.
Siam: Ever since the pandemic, it’s hard to go outside and meet your friends. The school was the one place I miss most, you know, hanging out and all.
Myself: Why are you not looking from too many days?
Siam: I’m busy from several days.
Myself: Busy but for what not our exams are being held now.
Siam: Not for exams but for online classes.
Myself: Fine. How are your online classes going on?
Siam: Quite good. It has been a different experience for us, isn’t it?
Myself: Certainly. What are your views about it?
Siam: I feel there are always two sides of a coin. However, it’s lots to offer.
Myself: I don’t really like the concept of online classes though.
Siam: I think the teachers are doing a commendable job trying to put up virtual classes so that we don’t miss things out.
Myself: I agree but such classes require active learning, either we concentrate or we’re lost.
Siam: Just look at the list of advantages that it has. It’s convenient, flexible, provides more individual attention, and also makes us more independent and self-disciplined.
Myself: I don’t agree with the last point. There’s no clue as to what a student is doing, maybe he’s busy with other stuff.
Siam: That’s how it makes the students more independent and they are self-directed.
Myself: Maybe it’s too early to comment on it. Let’s see what it’s to offer in the future.
Siam: Yes, my online classes are also going on but it does not make me much busy.
Myself: But there are so much homework that it takes the whole day to complete.
Siam: No, it doesn’t take the whole you just solve it during the period when there’s nothing going on, and it’ll be much easier for you.
Myself: Yes, you’re right. I’ll follow it thank you. Bye
Siam: Bye and have a nice day.

Rana: Friend, you’re looking tensed. What is the reason?
Dana: I’m fine. But I’m so worried about climate change.
Rana: Would you like to talk to me clearly on climate change?
Dana: Actually, it is a burning issue at this moment in our country and all over the world.
Rana: But want do you mean by climate change?
Dana: It’s a long-term change in the weather patterns that might have started from decades to millions of years before. It’s a change in the average weather conditions like greater, fewer extreme weather events.
Rana: What are the causes of climate change?
Dana: Global warming is the main cause of it. Destruction of forests, too much traffic in city streets, rapid growth of industries, increase of carbon-di-oxide, methane, use of CFC and detergents etc. are the main causes of it.
Rana: Where does it affect, friend?
Dana: It may affect a specific region or it may occur the whole world. Our environment is getting polluted gradually. So, the global climate is also changing.
Rana: Dear friend, what else does it affect?
Dana: Well, it also affects mankind’s ability to grow food, destroy or severely damages wildlife and wilderness, raises sea levels and thereby floods coastal areas and farmland.
Rana: What is the condition of Bangladesh in this respect?
Dana: The alarming news about Bangladesh is that as a result of the rise of the sea level, the lower southern part of the country may one day go under water.
Rana: How can you reduce climate change?
Dana: We can reduce climate change by stopping the above causes, like stopping deforestation, emitting less heat-trapping gases to the atmosphere etc. The rich countries should play dominant roles as they are mostly responsible for this change.
Rana: I think public awareness is a must in this case.

Dana: You are welcome. Nice to talk to you, take care. See you later.
42. A dialogue between Mithila and Nafisa about the importance of education is given below.
Mithila : Hi! You look somewhat thoughtful. What’s the matter?
Tanika : Yes, but how did you know?
Mithila : It’s been written on your face. So, what are thinking about?
Tanika : You’re right. I’m thinking about the backwardness of our country in many respects in comparison to other countries of the world.
Mithila : Yes, the country’s development is not at all up to our expectation. But can you identify the reasons behind it?
Tanika: Of course, lack of education among common people is the main cause. They do not have proper knowledge of some essential things.
Mithila : Actually education widens our outlook and orientation, broadens your mind and mentality. It refines our sense and sensibility. It helps us how to earn and spend.
Tanika: Moreover, it helps us to get job. We can earn our bread and butter and play a significant role in strengthening our national economy if we take education.
Mithila : I agree with you. An educated person is not a burden to family as well as country. Rather he/she tries his/her best remove the burdensome conditions of his/ her family as well as country.
Tanika: Education is the ladder for our happy future.
Mithila : If you neglect it now, you’ll face many hardships in future.
Tanika: On the other hand, the uneducated have no knowledge about nutrition and the way of keeping healthy and they can’t participate in national development.
Mithila: Besides in our country, corruption, injustice and exploitation are going on. But common people can’t protest owing to their ignorance.
Tanika : Absolutely right.
Mithila : So we should do something to teach the common people the essentials of life.
Tanika : Sure. We can use our extra time for this purpose. The govt., the NGO and the common mass should stretch their hands jointly to create awareness about the importance of education in life.
Mithila : Mass media should play their active role to a great extent so that everyone of us should take education.
Mithila : Thank you very much for your discussion.
Tanika: You are welcome.
43. A dialogue between Rana and Dana about the unemployment problem in Bangladesh is given below.
Rana: Hello, what are you doing?
Dana: I am reading an important article published in “The Bangladesh Times” on “Unemployment Problem in Bangladesh.”
Rana: This is a very vital issue now. But our political leaders do not bother about it.
Dana: Yes, you are right. This is a serious waste of manpower.
Rana: I am worried about my future life. If I remain unemployed after finishing my exam, it will be too much unfortunate.
Dana: Unemployment has really become an acute problem in our country as the number of unemployed people is more than the job opportunities available here.
Rana: But what is the cause? What do you think?
Dana: Of course, a student completes his graduation so he can be a good person and sustain his family. But it is closer-to-impossible to find a job here.
Rana: I should sadly agree with that. The government sector is already stuffed with employees. The private sector is largely exploitative.
Dana: Yes, government sectors have strict competition. Whereas, private sectors have several career uncertainties.
Rana: I must say: bad governance, corruption, economic inequalities, nepotism, and favoritism.
Dana: What should be done?
Rana: I think meritocracy should be ensured. The government should keep creating opportunities for youth in sectors. And also to reduce corruption in departments.
Dana: Government can provide them many kinds of training and export manpower to other countries to solve this matter.
Rana: Government along with Businessman can establish more industries to provide them job and thus unemployment problem can be decreased.
Dana: Yes, we should provide technical and vocational education side by side with our general education system.
Rana: By providing technical education, we can turn our population into human resources. In that case, if someone does not get a job, she will be able to be self-employed.
Dana: And if the government can create opportunities for self-employment and raise awareness of it, unemployment problem can be solved on a large scale.
Rana: Then, shouldn’t we get ourselves prepared from now on to ensure a decent job?
Dana: Of course.
Rana: Thank you for your valuable information.
Dana: Thank you too for your logical opinion.
